Book Description
Addresses the problems facing communities that suffer both environ. risks from past contamination and depressed economic activity. In such settings, redevelopment of contaminated sites and the associated economic development may require compromised standards for environmental mitigation. But partial cleanups can be shown to face inevitable failure at some future date. Thus, in such an approach, communities face risks that they should be capable of accepting or rejecting. The study considers these risks and assesses 4 alternative land use control strategies for assuring community participation in making decisions about both the cleanup process today and the response to risks of failure in the future. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Risk-based Corrective Action and Brownfields Restorations
Author: Craig H. Benson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Brownfields
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Describes tools and methods of an approach to remediating contaminated sites that balances health and environmental risk with costs in order to reduce the amount being spent to clean up after companies that have taken the money and left the pollution. The 20 papers also explore the underlying principles of the approach, look at past performance and emerging trends, and present many case histories.

Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309278139
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Across the United States, thousands of hazardous waste sites are contaminated with chemicals that prevent the underlying groundwater from meeting drinking water standards. These include Superfund sites and other facilities that handle and dispose of hazardous waste, active and inactive dry cleaners, and leaking underground storage tanks; many are at federal facilities such as military installations. While many sites have been closed over the past 30 years through cleanup programs run by the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. EPA, and other state and federal agencies, the remaining caseload is much more difficult to address because the nature of the contamination and subsurface conditions make it difficult to achieve drinking water standards in the affected groundwater. Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites estimates that at least 126,000 sites across the U.S. still have contaminated groundwater, and their closure is expected to cost at least $110 billion to $127 billion. About 10 percent of these sites are considered "complex," meaning restoration is unlikely to be achieved in the next 50 to 100 years due to technological limitations. At sites where contaminant concentrations have plateaued at levels above cleanup goals despite active efforts, the report recommends evaluating whether the sites should transition to long-term management, where risks would be monitored and harmful exposures prevented, but at reduced costs.
